Young's Fantasy Flair: Repeatable or Anomaly?
20 Sep
Summary
- Bryce Young finished Week 1 as QB3 with 31.4 fantasy points.
- Darren Waller had low volume with two catches on two targets.
- Tetairoa McMillan is considered Carolina's WR1 over Coker.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young delivered a strong Week 1 performance, finishing as QB3 with 31.4 fantasy points. This unexpected success raises questions about whether his performance is repeatable in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy managers are also evaluating wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Despite a slow start in Week 1, McMillan saw increased targets in the second half and is considered the Panthers' WR1, potentially eclipsing Jalen Coker. McMillan's history against Atlanta, including a standout game last season, further bolsters his outlook.
Tight end Darren Waller presents another fantasy quandary. With minimal volume in Week 1, catching only two passes, Waller is viewed as a risky start, especially given the generally weak tight end position outside the top tier. His fantasy ceiling appears capped without a touchdown.
Young's Week 1 success is seen as a potential anomaly rather than a trend. While he typically performs well against Atlanta, the Falcons' defense proved capable against the Steelers. In competitive leagues, other quarterbacks with more favorable matchups might be safer starts.
